EXCEPTIONAL LAWYER

Mr Jim Viles is an INCREDIBLE attorney & represents his clients very precisely in his dealings through the judicial system. He is as honest as they come & speaks that with and for his clients as he represents them. He lives the GOLDEN RULE and as long as you are honest with him he will go out of his ...way to move heaven and earth to see that justice prevails. He is a feverish protector of children and his passion shows just that. Wouldn't even think of going to someone else because we KNOW how darn good he is . His legal assistant Marilyn is just as thorough & we just couldn't say enough good about them ...hands down THE BEST !!!!

Review for James Viles

I had used Mr Viles’ services in weathering two cycles of divorce actions with a now ex-spouse. I found it easy to develop a good, open rapport with Mr Viles. He provided calm, objective perspectives for highly emotional situations, which helped me to reconsider my viewpoints, learning a few things... in the process. His focus was on doing the right thing to reach reasonable and equitable accommodations, but at the same time, not to agree with unreasonable demands the from opposing parties. He is quite knowledgeable on the different aspects of going through a divorce, and if not, he finds the appropriate resource to confirm or re-assure his position and perspective. He kept me informed of where things were at all times, which I very much appreciated. You do have to listen to your attorney though. Mr Viles provided good advice in handling certain situations with my ex-spouse that I ignored and subsequently suffered the consequences. In the end, we ended up with what I wanted all along. I was quite satisfied with his services and highly recommend Mr Viles.

One of the Best!

Jim was very helpful in my divorce. He took the time to explain all of the nuances in my case and helped me though a tough time. I would highly recommend Jim and his staff!

Intelligent and ethical

Jim has been my attorney for over 7 years. He always treated my case with the utmost urgency. I had a very difficult ex. Jim always protected my interests.

Viles Law offices are what you need

Jim Viles is the Lawyer you want and need. I don’t go to a lawyer for therapy, I go for legal advice. After dealing with an X-wife that has hauled me into mediation and court over and over for more than 5 years. Each and every time I need a lawyer, Jim and team have been there for me. When I am mad,... he will listen and then bring everything back to reality. His calm demeanor, knowledge of the Judges, and awareness of how everything works is amazing. Court is unpredictable, and Jim does what he can, but if you are willing to listen to his advice you will leave court happy. If you are looking for a Family law Lawyer, I cannot give a more whole hearted endorsement of Jim and his team.

"I have had several cases in which James Viles was opposing counsel. He is extremely professional, very reasonable, highly knowledgeable regarding all aspects of family law, and presents an impressive case at trial if he is unable to first settle the case fairly for his clients. I strongly endorse Mr. Viles."
